Title: Dual mode interchangeable modules cut sheet or web printing system with a single xerographic cut sheet print engine
Inventor: STEMMLE DENIS J
IPC: G03G15/23
Filed: 1998-06-05
Abstract: A plural mode printing system utilizing a cut sheet print engine for printing conventional cut sheet print substrates, in which page print images are generated and transferred to the cut sheets at an image transfer station. This plural mode printing system selectively provides printing onto either the cut sheets or onto an uncutcontinuous web printing substrate, in the same cut sheet print engine. An independently moveable continuous web printing substrate supply module is selectively operatively docked with the cut sheet print engine. That web printing module has a web feeding and image transfer assistance system for feeding the continuous web uncut into the cut sheet printing engine for transferring the page print images onto the web instead of onto cut sheets when the print engine is operatively docked with the web printing substrate module. The web printing module does not itself need to print. Rather, it can feed an extended loop of the continuous web into the cut sheet print engine image transfer station. The web module may provide either simplex printing or duplex printing onto both sides of the web with a duplexing system for feeding the web into the print engine for image transfer twice, with web inversion in between. The web modules are also preferably interchangeable with an optional cut sheet supply module.

Title: Data output control method from device with a plurality of queues
Inventor: SHIMONISHI HIDEYUKI
IPC: H04L47/6275
Filed: 1998-07-17
Abstract: A data output control device which stores an input data within a queue, before outputting data to an output circuit  from the  respective queues, so as  to guarantee minimum speed of the output data, enables processing amount of selecting operation of the output queue to be reduced. In cases where the data is stored within the queue, when the queue does not possess data with the exception of its input data, if a counter value of the queue is more than 1 (one), the number of the queue is stored within the rearmost of the transmittable queue number list, while if a counter value of the queue is 0  (zero), the number of the queue is stored within the rearmost of the non-transmittable queue number list. The queue number of the forefront of the transmittable queue number list is taken  in every respective data output time intervals. When the transmittable queue number list is empty,  taking the queue number of the forefront of the transmittable queue number list, after it causes the content of the non-transmittable queue number list to shift to the transmittable queue number list to initialize the counter of respective  queues.  The  counter  value  of  the  queue  is subtracted by one, while outputting one of the data from the queue of the taken  number to the output circuit. When the queue still possesses data,  if the counter value is more than 1 (one), the number of the queue is stored within the rearmost of the transmittable queue number list, while if the counter value is 0 (zero), the number of the queue is stored within the rearmost of the non-transmittable queue number list.

Patent CA-2246704-A1 (CA)
Inventor: DENT PAUL WILKINSON
IPC: H04Q7/32
Filed: 1997-03-07
Abstract: A mobile radiotelephone injects an audible alignment signal which is a function of the orientation of the radiotelephone antenna, into the audible radiotelephone communications. The audible alignment signal prompts the radiotelephone user to reorient the radiotelephone antenna for improved alignment with the source of radiotelephone communications. The audible alignment signal is preferably a function of the received signal strength of the radiotelephone communications. The audible alignment signal is preferably artificial noise which is injected in the radiotelephone loudspeaker along with the radiotelephone communications signal, to thereby restore subjective graceful degradation behavior to the received radiotelephone communications.  Artificial noise injection is preferably used with coded digital radiotelephone systems which do not audibly degrade until a threshold is reached, below which communications are suppressed. Artificial noise injection may also be used with variable power base stations.
Patent CA-2248493-A1 (CA)
Title: Arc fault detector with immunity to tungsten bulb burnout and circuit breaker incorporating same
Inventor: RAE THOMAS CHRISTOPHER
IPC: H02H1/00
Filed: 1998-09-28
Abstract: A circuit breaker with an arc fault circuit provides immunity to false trips caused by tungsten bulb burnout and by a cold tungsten filament energized through a solid state dimmer. The detector circuit includes a pulse generator which generates pulses in response to the step increases in current occurring each time an arc is struck. A zener diode limits the amplitude of pulses generated by the pulse generator to a value which is below that of pulses generated by the tungsten lamp. When a time attenuated accumulation of these pulses reaches a predetermined value, the circuit breaker is tripped. By clipping the pulses with the zener diode, the few large pulses generated by tungsten bulb burnout or energization of a cold tungsten bulb by a solid state dimmer switch are insufficient to allow the time attenuated accumulation of pulses to reach the trip value.

IPC: A62C35/00
Filed: 1997-03-14
Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method of extinguishing fires, a fire-extinguishing compound and a fire-extinguishing system. The proposed method involves the preparation of a fire-extinguishing composition containing an oxidant and a fuel-binder, placing the composition in the area of the seat of the fire, initiating a sustainable fuel oxidising reaction producing combustion products in finely dispersed aerosol form, and then allowing the aerosol medium to act on the seat of the fire. According to the invention, the compositions in the aerosol products of combustion act in the immediate area of the fuel oxidation reaction to reduce the level of toxins and lower the equilibrium temperature of complete oxidation of the fuel-binder combustion products. To achieve this, a reagent is introduced into the aerosol combustion products of the composition which promotes a reduction in the equilibrium temperature of the full oxidation reaction of the fuel-binder combustion products. The reagent used consists of thermal disintegration products of a low-energy supplementary fuel. Also proposed is a compound suitable for the proposed method. The system is provided with a reactor containing means for reducing the level of toxins in the area of combustion of the composition.
